Remarkable, fantastical, and a little bit strange — the tale of Peter Pan has captivated people for over 100 years. UMass Theater is thrilled to be part of that legacy of theater magic in its production of J.M. Barrie's original play. Ours will be a production that confronts the story's melancholy aspects — the fear of growing up, of lost children, of longing — and counters them with a joy born of the power of creativity, play and joy. The pretend is near!
